east fife fizz goes flat

poor old east fife football club have been banned from celebrating their championship success with the traditional shower of bubbly.

it appears that the problem was nothing to do with the contents of the bottles but the bottles themselves. according to officers from central scotland police the law states that glass containers are not permitted inside sporting grounds.

i can just see it now, lewis hamilton wins the british grand prix and is handed a plastic bottle of bubbly, with the plastic cap removed for his own safety!

cool video

i now know what i want for christmas

me and mrs plowy have recently been stocking up on equipment to start going camping when the weather warms up. on my travels through various camping and outdoor equipment websites i came across "the largest swiss army knife in the world", namely the wenger giant knife for sale at wiggle.co.uk for the bargain price of £445.50. just imagine the fun you could have one one of those!

chicken out!

i've been watching the chicken out campaign on channel 4 and it has really opened my eyes to the way chicken is farmed. the programme was fronted by hugh fearnley-whittingstall of river cottage fame and showed the differences between free range and intensively farmed chickens. it made some good points about how buying free range chicken need not be greatly more expensive than the bog standard variety.

he also tried to get interviews with the major supermarkets in the uk but they were unsurprisingly reluctant.

give the campaign website a look and and show your support by signing up!
